Russ, the first time I heard the popular press cover this issue was WSJ mid July96 by Roger Lowenstein then Barron's Nov. 96 in an interview with Martin Barnes of BCA. When FASB proposed addressing this "issue" the accounting firms thought it was a good idea until their clients squealed like pigs. If memory serves, even AG did not like the idea. I don't know who AG works for but it seems to me that the public welfare is the least of his concerns. i believe history will judge AG harshly and rightly so IMO for helping to create one of the biggest bubbles in history. BTW I highly recommend reading the gold-eagle articles and others there I posted on de thread. Mike
